(M) As a teacher for many years, I want to say something about good reader. A good reader is very much like a driver. He must change his reading speed to fit what he is reading, just as a driver does fit the road situation. A good reader may be able to read 1,000 words per minute, but he won’t use that speed for everything he reads. A good reader may read at the speed of 1,000 words per minute as he looks for something for his report in the library. But once he finds what is useful to him, he may need to slow down to 100 words per minute. A good reader may read newspaper and magazine articles at 600 words per minute. But it may take him 150 words per minute to read his science or math texts.

(M) My name is Wang Lin. Forty years ago, I lived in a small village at the foot of a big mountain. All the people in the village were very poor, and they lived in low and dark houses. Children had to walk 10 kilometers to school every day. After school, they had to cut grass to feed animals. The living conditions were very difficult.
Now the government has helped us move away from the mountain and build a new village near a town. We have built tall and bright houses and wide roads. We have also built a new school near our village. Children in our village can get a good education. We live a much happier life now.
